Igloo Heater by Marco Zagaria, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome

wonderfully creative design! more after the jump. m.

Can you heat your room for just 10 cents a day? Egloo can. Egloo is a clever little heater that harnesses candle power to heat a room without wasting electricity. Egloo works by concentrating the heat from the flame of a few candles inside a terracotta dome, radiating warmth into a room even after the candles are blown out. The concept was developed by Marco Zagaria, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and right now, he is looking for funding for the brilliant little heater. The project is being funded through Indiegogo where you can get in on the project and start heating your office, dorm or bedroom without using electricity.

Bound and Unbound by Judith Scott at The Brooklyn Museum

wonderfully creative work! more after the jump.m.

Judith Scott’s work is celebrated for its astonishing visual complexity. In a career spanning just seventeen years, Scott developed a unique and idiosyncratic method to produce a body of work of remarkable originality. Often working for weeks or months on individual pieces, she used yarn, thread, fabric, and other fibers to envelop found objects into fastidiously woven, wrapped, and bundled structures.

Video — The Glass House Workshop, São Paulo

fun student + filmaking project. m.

In a three day pilot workshop, students from the Architecture and Urbanism School of Mackenzie Presbyterian University in São Paulo took part in an introduction to architecture filmmaking. Coordinated by architects Gabriel Kogan and Pedro Kok, the group spent a day at Lina Bo Bardi‘s Glass House in São Paulo following theoretical and technical lectures.

The idea was to recreate — now in moving images — an iconic photograph of the site by exploring issues of representation, transparency, interior/exterior, promenades, ways of living and the tectonics of this architectural masterpiece.

Select Art Exhibits Over The Years

i thought it might be interesting to try and piece together the various art exhibits i’ve seen over the years. i’m simply listing major retrospectives and/or solo/group shows from ‘leading’ artists. i felt it would be all too difficult to try and list all of the shows i’ve seen from all other artists. this list includes shows in florida, hawaii, new york, london, san francisco, seattle, seoul and various other locales across the globe. enjoy!
